缅北轮奸

缅北轮奸 will host Mission Week, a series of events and activities celebrating the University鈥檚 Jesuit and Maryland heritage, from March 16-22, 2025. 

鈥淢ission Week provides the University community with an opportunity to reflect on our Jesuit, Catholic identity, our Ignatian heritage and the ways in which we live our values inside and outside of the classroom,鈥� said Milton Javier Bravo, Ph.D., vice president for mission and identity. 鈥淐onnecting with Ignatian formation opportunities for employees and students is one of the elements of our strategic plan, Together We Rise, and it helps us engage more deeply with the educational and spiritual traditions of the Society of Jesus.鈥�

Mission Week 2025 will include Masses, programs, lectures, and other events that offer an opportunity for the community to engage with Loyola鈥檚 mission. Some of the offerings this year have been designed to give the community opportunities to engage with Ignatian Formation, one of our mission priorities and a focus of our strategic plan.

鈥淭here will be opportunities to reflect on a 鈥榝aith that does justice,鈥� themes of solidarity and community, as well as educational opportunities to experience the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of 缅北轮奸and to learn more about his life,鈥� Bravo said.

Inspired by Ignatius
The weeklong celebration will also feature the first Way of Ignatius employee retreat and the inaugural Founders鈥� Forum. These new events are designed to explore our Jesuit and Ignatian roots and will be led by members of Loyola鈥檚 office of mission integration and Jesuit community.

鈥淲hile everything we do at 缅北轮奸is in some way inspired by the vision of St. Ignatius of Loyola, Mission Week affords us an opportunity to reflect and celebrate quite deliberately about the great legacy we have inherited鈥攁nd which we are responsible for cultivating,鈥� said Rev. Steve Spahn, S.J., affiliate professor of theology and assistant to the director of mission integration. 鈥淓veryone is encouraged to participate鈥攆or indeed together, we are Loyola!鈥�
